I miss Key West.To remind me of the island, plus to help keep me calm and sane at work I've placed a One Human Family sticker on my pc.This is the philosophy of Key West - that every human being is created equal and part of the same family. When I look at this sticker it makes me think of Key West and smile :-)Click here for more information on the One Human Family foundati...

The Key West Aids Memorial is a beautiful tribute to all people who have died from AIDs and who lived in or loved the Keys.It was built in 1997 and is maintained by a group of volunteers. From the memorial's own website:t might be hard to understand now, but on an island of less than 30,000 year round residents, AIDS and HIV had a devastating impact including the loss of over 700 friends and neighbors to AIDS related illnesses in...
Mam & I under the famous sign outside Key West indicating it as the Birthplace of Pan Am Airlines.Kelly's "Clipper" pizzaTuna ahiThey are famous for their wings - and rightly so!If I have one complaint about Kelly's is that it just isn't Pan Am themed enough for me... I have read articles about when Fred Tillman and Kelly McGillis bought it and their plans for building - to be a bar, restaurant and a great museum. I don't know if...

Enid and I arranged to meet for a bite to eat at the bar in Braza Lena.The Happy Hour caiproskas ($5) were excellentI didn't make a great choice. The meat platter was just okay. I didn't like the sausage at all - too greasy, tasted a bit deep fried to me.I don't have a photo but Enid's burger was very very nice.A fun nig...
McConnell's on Duval Street host a trivia quiz every Wednesday evening. It is a fun event. Prizes are given out after each round, plus an overall winner at the end of all the rounds. This is good because it means that you don't have to be there for the whole night if you don't want to.First Wednesday it was just mam and Katie. They did "ok".Second week it was mam, Sheila and I (and Dad near the end). We did "ok".3rd...
Myself and Dad setting off on our Fishing Trip. We always go on Captain John's boat which is a large party boat which suits our needs perfectly.This guy caught the biggest fish. He had a special rod/pole and was casting out into the deep. He was very happy as this was exactly what he set out to catch. He got two big fat fillets from this fish, I can only imagine how great it tasted.First Mate Brian sorting out and dividing...
I received a facebook invitation to this Celebration from a friend ours and KW resident Sheila.It was a very well organised event. I wish I had more photos for you :-(Up the back of the bar there was a table with a huge archive of photographs, postcards, doodlings & memorabilia from the last 45 years.As this was a fundraiser event there was a Chilli Cook Off competition and a Raffle with lots and lots of prizes.Sheila's chili came 3rd....
